Traditional prayer

My Lord Jesus Christ, who didst found the Church with thy Precious Blood, and by the preaching of the Apostles didst establish, propagate and extend it throughout the whole world, and thereafter didst commission the holy Patriarch Dominic to adorn, illustrate, and defend it with the splendour of his merits and doctrine; graciously hear the prayers which this Apostolic man incessantly offers to Thee for the increase of her treasures, both spiritual and temporal.

Our Father Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Most merciful Redeemer, who didst choose as thy fellow labourer for the salvation of souls St Dominic, who by his zeal, aided by thy grace, gained over to the Church so many heretics who had been lost to her, and so many sinners who had grieved her by their obstinacy ; send, O my God, ever fresh labourers into thy vineyard to work for thy glory, and gather in the fruits of eternal life.
